"When you're anxious, one of the best things you can do is learn
about your feelings and how your brain often makes you feel more
anxious than you should. In this book, Dr. Dan Peters tells you
everything you need to know to take charge of your anxious
feelings. Read it. You'll see."
- Dr. Brock Eide, co-author of The Dyslexic Advantage and The
Mislabeled Child"This book is a gift for anyone -anyone- who
worries too much. It is immensely understandable, readable, and
most important of all, actionable."
- Partick Lencioni, president, The Table Group, best-selling author
of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team and The Advantage"I used to run
away when I got scared. When I learned that it was my amygdala
causing the Worry Monster to visit me, it made me feel better. I
realized that I was going to be okay and that the Worry Monster was
just trying to trick me. Counting to 100 and taking a break help me
get rid of my worry so I can think. The Worry Monster still comes,
but I have conquered him before, so I know I can defeat him
again."
- Jack Roy, Warrior"When we focus on anything, we can make it
better. Reading From Worrier to Warrior helped me finally learn the
'why' of my anxiety and not only has given me tools to conquer my
own fears and worries, but has helped me to serve as a "guide on
the side" to my son, who experiences anxiety as well."
- Dana, Warrior and a parent of a Warrior"From Worrier to Warrior
has inspired me to work through my worries. Other kids tell their
stories in the book, and that helped me think that if they can do,
it so can I. The book taught me who the Worry Monster is, and that
has helped me think of ways to fight him."
- Lily, Warrior"Tweens and teens (and their parents) will find this
book invaluable. Way too many children and teens suffer with
anxiety, without any clue how to diminish their fears. The
strategies provided in this well-written guide can't help but turn
worriers into warriors!"
- Sally Baird, Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist and Co-Author of the
children's book Shrinking the Worry Monster
